The Harambee Foundation of West Point, PA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit public charity, working with a government registered local community initiative in Babati, Tanzania. Its mission is to bring positive change and life-altering educational opportunities to vulnerable children who have no family, or whose families have been affected by the scourge of poverty, HIV/AIDs, alcoholism, sexual, emotional and physical abuse, and those with a loss of hope. Girls escaping from domestic servitude and forced labor are given the skills to be productive wives and mothers with the capacity to think for themselves. They are able to learn marketable job skills, which will bring them some level of financial independence. Rescuing these children has also had a direct impact on their physical and mental health. Previously, these children often struggled to find a single daily meal, and their medical care was almost non-existent.
